Yes - all source code is available and you can compile it, fork it... Some prebuilt applications are used in the system; they are built separately from source code available here, or synced from open source repositories such as F-Droid. We ship one proprietary application though ([read the statement](/maps)).

## Cool, /e/ is open source - how can I contribute?
- join one of the /e/ [projects looking for contributors](/projects-looking-for-contributors)
- help solving [issues listed here](/groups/e/-/issues)
-[start building](/e/wiki/en/wikis/build) /e/ for a new device and become a maintainer
Maybe you have other suggestions, feel free to contact us! Send an email to [join@e.email](mailto:join@e.email), with a clear subject line (like: ROM Developer Mediatek).
## Is /e/ LineageOS + microG?
## Is /e/ LineageOS + microG?
/e/ is forked from LineageOS. We've modified several parts of the system (and we're just beginning): installation procedure, settings organization, default settings. We've disabled and/or removed any software or services that were sending personal data to Google (for instance, the default search engine is no longer Google). We've integrated microG by default, have replaced some of the default applications, and modified others. We have added a synchronization background software service that syncs multimedia contents (pictures, videos, audio, files...) and settings to a cloud drive, when activated.
